Hey Caballero37, I have just joined the community and this is my first post. I speak fluent Spanish so I have never had any issues when traveling to Peru and in fact I now practically reside here. However over the years I have met several expats and tourists and they have never had any problems communicating. I do know that the word catch is very close to a slur word in Peru but other than that I don’t foresee you making any real blunder. Wish you the best and hope Lima treats you as lovely as it has treated me over the years.
